智能化SAN设备已经推出了首款产品Maxxan公司的SA100f。尽管该产品目前并未在中国上市,但它所表殃的性能与功能却足以成为智能交换的典范。因此,我们节译了eWEEK实验室对该产品的评测,使读者对未来的智能交换设备有一个印象。该产品将存储虚拟化功能融合于工作组设备之中。SA100f主要定位于小型远程站点。当它和FalconStor的IPStor软件协同运行时,就会成为一个功能强大的数据保护设备;而和微软即将推出的Windows存储服务器2003软件一起运行时,SA100f则又具备了强大的NAS网关潜能。
Intelligent SAN devices have introduced the first product, the Maxxan SA100f. Although the product is not currently available in China, the performance and functionality it represents is enough to be a model for intelligent exchange. Therefore, we have translated eWEEK Lab’s evaluation of the product, so that readers have an impression on the future of smart switching equipment. The product incorporates storage virtualization into workgroup devices. SA100f mainly located in the small remote site. When it runs in conjunction with FalconStor’s IPStor software, it becomes a powerful data protection appliance and, when run in conjunction with Microsoft’s forthcoming Windows Storage Server 2003 software, SA100f has the potential of a NAS gateway.
